WWB Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hope that got your attention. I am pleased to announce the advent of a new era at Boots & Tracks. Gone is the rather depressing blue table based monstrosity of yesteryear. Here is the more colorful & standards-based design of the future. Originally, I sat down to upgrade the site to work with CMAK. I ended up doing a ground-up rewrite. The net result is a more visually pleasing site, a faster site, and a much more capable site. There is alot of open space in the menus for a reason <g>. Now, given it is a completely new and largely cutting edge endevour, I am certain there will be some issues, especially with older browsers. If you do have any issues, please do email me at wwb@3dwargamer.net, tell me what browser you were using. Screenshot are appreciated. But, for now, go forth and search for some scenarios damnit.

Michael Emrys Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Not bad. Does seem to move quickly from page to page. Best of all, no cookies, banners, or pop-ups. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Good Lord, Emrys, you're posting multiple times in a row like....a certain someone. Guess you took my advice in the GF to heart...(wbs' thread). So WWB, does Boots and Tracks really need cheap theatrics in order to get people to visit? I would have thought their body of work stood out on its own merits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hehe. No banners or popups are planned. Cookies might come in with a few features, but nothing too invasive. Just let you get the "new since your last visit" icons and such. There are slicker ways of gathering stats. Dorosh--what is your issue? The product stands in its head but a little marketing glitz never hurt nobody.

Ron Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Nice work! I like the fresher look and hope to see some historical articles and AARs in the future. I noticed the preview picture for the Operation "Seelow Heights" was broken. Also in your recent news you have written "It is now much more flexible and will allow us to give you many more features than the long run." Should be "in" I think.

Ron Yeah, the seelowe picture has been broken for a while. I will try and work something up this evening. Gramatical error is fixed. Thanks for the kudos guys.

flamingknives Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 And there was me thinking that B&T was hosting Dorosh's ASL interface mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMAK stuff will be forthcoming very shortly. No need to rush to press, and quality beats quantity any day. No mods of any sort are hosted at the moment, mainly due to space and bandwith restrictions. Some plans are afoot to redress those weaknesses, so just wait and see. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 It was the "My eyes!!" bit. Have you seen that mod? It's technicolour, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me a setup for a desert scenario; we'll see who makes fewer tactical blunders due to inability to see the contour levels... Tactical blunders due to skill need not enter the equation...I'll concede that one from the getgo. The ASL mods will be up at cmmods when I get around to finishing them. I have about 40 vehicle unit portraits to go (down from 260!!) Promises, promises, I know, but I have a couple other hobby-type things going on that is actually making me money right now, so they kinda take priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 WWB and Dorosh at odds? This does not make sence to me. HARRY, HELP PLEASE! I don't understand how the 2 works could be at such odds I have missed much in these forums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how the 2 works could be at such odds I have missed much in these forums At odds? Feh. All I said was that B&T's high and richly deserved reputation should mean that they don't need to resort to the same advertising strategies that are employed during junior high school elections, that's all. If I wanted to fight with somebody, I'd just hire myself another stalker. Or get a mortal enemy. I attract them quite readily, unlike that loser Seanachai who couldn't hold on to a mortal enemy if they were both made of Velcro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
